Ah excellent, I completely didn't realise.

Can anyone get their hands on DCS World without a key from P51, A10 or BS?

Awww meow! Sorry I hurt your internet feelings dude.

Do I realise when the release was? Yes. Do I know how industrious members of this forum are? Yes. Do I think some of the test team have Warthogs? Yes. Apologies if I baked your noodle :cry:

Could any of you fine gentlemen point me at a Mustang profile for the Thrustmaster Warthog? I cant seem to find one here or on Google and I am far too lazy to create my own from scratch ;)

Can I ask the exact nature of the problem that you had with the button? I think I may have a very similar issues :( I have to press it in a very particular way, putting more pressure on the upper left side of the button in order to get it to register... Its quite unnatural and irritating so I've been juet cursing under my breath and relying on the AP switch on the base instead. Sounds like it would be worth my time to talk to Thrustmaster.

>Modified "Other..." radio menu to be a sub-menu of "Main Menu > Ground Crew" Where can I find this menu? I've been trying to play a campaign mission that requires me to call in multiple other assets and I cant find this menu :(

I'm just trying to get VAC set up with Warthog (never tried it before) and I while it seems to be fine when I test the profile, it's not picking anything up when I actually play the game. I should note that VAC says "DCS profile is loaded and voice is on" when I hover over the icon, and I really am pressing the button so that it is listening for a command! Since it seems to work flawlessly in the test mode I can only assume I'm doing something really dense.

No you didn't; you saw the warning message come up. Which you can then turn off and ignore for ever (seemingly at least) or just turn them off and on again. That's not modelling overheating.

I fully agree with that, so get a TM Warthog and a couple of cougar MFD surrounds and go nuts (add a trackIR too). Yes you have to use a keyboard and mouse for some stuff still, but the vast majority of actions can be untertaken with HOTAS.

Give it a couple of weeks, figure out SPI, SOI, TMS, DMS, Slew, Coolie, China Hat and maybe boat switch and CMS, then come back here, reread your thread and wonder what the fuss was about! ;) If you want awesome ergonomics, stop using the toy X52 and get a Thrustmaster Warthog ;)

Ah turns out I was being an idiot - they DO show in DSMS after all, I was just getting confused by the notation. Thanks!

Even though I've armed my A10 with 2 smoke pods (both red), neither shows in DSMS and neither turn on when I hit LShift-T (default command to toggle smoke and is bound). Found nothing with search so I'm pretty sure I'm doing something daft here!

In my experience the closest airfield is the one at the top of your ATC radio list. However that probably doesn't happen if you fly without simplified radios... Thinking about it, The DIVERT menu in the CDU's NAV menu should show the closest at the top and then the associated tower freq.

Yeah triggers are what made me start thinking about it. Thanks all.

I'm probably missing something really simple but in trying to build my first 2 player mission I wanted to put both players in the same flight and element so that we're each others' wingman. However, while I can set Pig 1-1 to be "Player" or "Client", I only seem to be able to set Pig 1-2 to be AI, there's no "Client" listed. Is there a way to do it that I'm missing? Or do we have to be entirely different flights - which doesn't feel all that cooperative to me!

Falcon, I dont suppose you have fiddled with your MonitorSetup files at all? I have and I have a sneaking suspicion it might be that.

Is no one else having this issue? Can anyone see if I'm doing anything silly? Might be time for a reinstall...

Think I have the same problem. \ does nothing. Remapped to "OEM102" or wahtever it shows up as, still does nothing. Warthog HOTAS throttle mic switch successfully moves the mic switch on the cockpit but no comms menus appear. Im on easy comms and I'm playing missions where I know there should be assets available on the radio and the mission starts won the runway so its not that I dont have the radios turned on. Any ideas?

I disagree with both of your points.

Perfect, thanks. base.init_pos = {0, -0.2} Seems to get it where it should be for me - bottom left of my left monitor

Did you have any luck moving it? Due to the way I render on 2 screens (cockpit on left, landscape and ABRIS + SHVKAL on right in portrait) I need to move the control indicator up by 480 pixels since its currently rendering empty air where there's no screen to show it. I'm still tweaking bits of the ControlsIndicator_page.lua but no success yet.

Bully for you, aren't you simply amazing! I, on the other hand, think this is a fantastic idea given the realities of pixel density and the distance I have to sit from my screen, along with the balance of not wanting to 'cheat' with massive obvious labels, so thanks!

Ok, that's fine/understandable and slightly disappointing ;) I never could get into BS1 and I blame the training for that as I am fine with A10... But so long as the training stuff does actually work, Im happy to have another crack at it!

Hope this is the right place for this question: I was led to believe that the the training missions in BS are broken by the latest patches, so does BS2 have working Training Missions? And are they interactive like A10, or non-interactive like BS1?
